What Should Be Done For Loose Motion Of A 3 Month Baby And What Food Is To Be Given?
hi, i have a baby about 3 months and 14 days. And he seems to have loose motion. Since his mom' breastmilk is not much we are supplementing with a lactogen. Now we are afraid to give the powder since he had passed 2-3 times though not much. Please suggest what to do.

Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
If you are afraid of giving powder milk you can give undiluted cows milk.
Or dairy milk (undiluted) from viskha dairy .
Nothing to worry about loose motions.
Usually breastfed babies pass 6-7 loose motions.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
